A Mini Retro Puzzle for DOS, the PSP and 3DS (Homebrew)
This simple puzzle game at some point fit into 8 KiB, hence the name. Since then, the focus has shifted to porting and support for various audio synths.


A simple puzzle game. Initially it fit into just 8 KiB, then grew to 16 KiB and then 23 KiB, now it's a 25 KiB file for DOS, the 3DS version is 242 KiB and the PSP version is 640 KiB (due to homebrew packing in lots of standard library files; the size could be optimized, but I decided not to).
==Installation==
Copy the both .3dsx and .smdh files to /3ds/Loonies8192/ on the SD card, creating folders as necessary.


==How to play:==
Then run it with the Homebrew Launcher.


There are 2x2-blocks falling down the top, with two different colors. Use LEFT/RIGHT/DOWN to move the block and use UP to rotate it. Use SPACE to drop the block (it will fall fast until it lands).

===How to play===
There are 2x2-blocks falling down the top, with two different colors. The objective is to rotate and align the falling groups of blocks to create squares of the same block color once the blocks have landed.


==Installation==
A vertical line, known as the time line, sweeps through the playing field from left to right, erasing any completed single-color groups of blocks that it touches (typically 2×2 squares).
* DOS: Just start LOON8R50.EXE from anywhere
 
* 3DS: Copy the file to ""3ds/Loonies8192/Loonies8192.3dsx"" on the SD card, creating folders as necessary (optionally also copy Loonies8192.smdh)
===Sound Pack===
* PSP: Copy ""EBOOT.PBP"" and ""PARAM.SFO"" to PSP/GAME/Loonies8192 on your memory stick, creating folders as necessary (both files are needed)
By default, Loonies 8192 has synthesized sound built in, but it's possible to also use CD-quality audio files.  
For the 3DS, you need to be running the Homebrew Launcher, for the PSP you need to install Custom Firmware (CFW). For DOS, you just need a Retro PC or DOSBox, PCem or similar emulators that emulate a DOS VGA machine.
 
Download the Loonies 8192 Sound Pack, and put the WAV files in the game folders for 3DS to upgrade your sound experience to fully sampled 16-bit audio.
 
===Configuration===
There's in-game help now on how to play the game.  
 
You can configure the language (English, German and French), soundtrack and difficulty level in the options menu.
